The right hand stamp is a 500... congrats...
The middle stamp is a 499...
The left hand stamp (might be) a 500 edge copy...
need to see a much larger image to tell... |

The right stamp appears to be printed by offset, thus among 526-528B, depending on the type. |

Ciletaliph,
Judging from the well defined rope and toga button in the above picture, I'd have to say its a 500; type 1a like disi123 said originally.

There's no question the right hand stamp is a 500...
all of the characteristics are there, and the middle
is positively 499...
The left hand stamp is 'iffy'... can't tell 100% from
the scan. Given the 'brightness' of the image, it could
be offset...
I would suggest performing a foil test on all 3 stamps,
and also, post backscans of all 3... |

Ok, did the tinfoil test, middle stamp showed design, left and right stamp did NOT  So middle stamp is not 499  |

No... exactly the opposite... which, I guess, further confirms
how images viewed from a computer screen may be different from
reality, which means that John Becker is correct, and
the judgement I made (based upon my view) is incorrect...
If the foil test ONLY appeared on the middle stamp, it would
have to be flat plate, and the left & right would be offset...
As a last analysis... do you see any setoff on the backs of
the left and right, or just on the middle? |

That would pretty much confirm it, then...
Left to right : offset/flat plate/offset
my apologies to John Becker for jumping the gun... |
